Software Engineer
Computer software engineers use the basics and techniques of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the software and systems that enable computers to perform their many different tasks.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, computer software engineers are projected to be one of the fastest growing occupations over the 200212 period. The starting salaries for computer engineers with a bachelor's degree can be higher than salaries of bachelor's degree graduates in many other occupations.
What are the duties of a computer software engineer?
· Testing and verifying ongoing designs
· Designing and developing software
· Project managing
· Consulting
Where can I find computer software engineering training?
Most employers would like to hire people who have at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, systems software engineering or computer information systems with knowledge of, and experience with, a variety of computer systems and technologies. Graduate degrees are wanted for some of the more difficult jobs.
As technology advances, employers ask for new skills. Computer software engineers must continue to learn such skills if they hope to remain in this field.
